MATLAB: Do I receive an error message when I click on the Simulink Icon next to a requirement in the Excel document using Simulink Verification and Validation 2.5 (R2009a)

Simulink CheckSimulink Requirements

I opened an Excel document containing requirements linked to a Simulink model. When I click on the Simulink icon next to a requirement, I receive the following error message:

 Make sure MATLAB is running as an automation server.
 If MATLAB is running, type the following command:
 enableservice('AutomationServer',true)

Best Answer

This error occurs when MATLAB is not running. To avoid this error message, start MATLAB and execute the following command:

enableservice('AutomationServer',true)

This error message indicates that the COM AutomationServer in MATLAB is not running. When you restart MATLAB, the COM AutomationServer is NOT running by default. This is expected behavior.

The COM AutomationServer is automatically started after performing model/DOORS synchronization, that is why it works until MATLAB is restarted.

Rather than resynchronizing, you can use the following MATLAB function to start the COM AutomationServer:

>> enableservice('AutomationServer', true)

You might want to consider adding the ENABLESERVICE function to a custom MATLAB startup file, such that it is automatically called every time MATLAB is started. For more information on the MATLAB startup file, please see the following link:

MATLAB: Requirement status in Simulink Requirements API

I believe Customize Requirements with Custom Attributes is what you are looking for. The document shows how to define and edit attributes using Requirements Editor. "Related topics" has link to APIs for manipulating custom attributes. You can define custom attributes for your status and display them as additional column in the Requirements Editor.
